He returned to his territory to rest, and as for the purchased buildings, everything could wait until he woke up.
Unfortunately, Diao Chan and the others were still busy in different worlds and couldn't accompany him through this long night.
He had to quickly switch them out, not wanting his wives to be too tired.
He was genuinely concerned about Diao Chan and the others' well-being, with no other ulterior motives.
As a Lord, he cared about his territory's residents and his wives, which was quite reasonable, wasn't it? (～￣▽￣)～
He hadn't rested in the [Spiritual Vein Courtyard] since it was upgraded, so he decided to cultivate there tonight.
As he entered a state of meditation, a large amount of spiritual energy began to flow into his body, filling his meridians.
A Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram emerged from his body, madly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
The next day, Liu Yue, having received the news, had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast of spiritual ingredients and delivered it to him immediately.
She opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Zhou Yan, saying, "Lord, there's nothing much happening in the territory lately. I'd like to enter the [Inheritance Temple] to change my profession."
Zhou Yan replied, "You can decide that for yourself. If you want to go, then go. I'm rarely in the territory myself lately, and I have many matters to attend to."
"I'll have someone responsible for the meals in the territory. Many sisters who are skilled in cooking have joined us recently, and some of them are even as good as me."
It was precisely this sense of crisis that prompted Liu Yue to want to change to a better sub-profession, thus securing her position in the Lord's heart.
"You can decide for yourself. The position of head chef will always be yours," Zhou Yan said with a smile, having seen through Liu Yue's subtle thoughts.
"Thank you, Lord."
Liu Yue's face turned red as Zhou Yan saw through her thoughts, and she quickly retreated.
After breakfast, he went to the [Three Lives Stone] for his daily sign-in.
Although the soul coins were few, they would accumulate over time.
Anyway, once he reached max level, the number of these soul coins would be displayed after his level. He found it strange.
It even led him to a bold guess: the Lord's level might still be over one hundred.
This was a guess he made through signing in at the [Three Lives Stone].
If it weren't for the steadily increasing soul coins from signing in, he wouldn't have speculated this way.
As for whether it was true, that remained to be verified.
After breakfast, he began his work.
He had bought quite a few buildings yesterday, and now it was time to start constructing them.
Territory Prompt: Building [Catapult], [Catapult] evolved into [Meteor Tower].
Territory Prompt: Building [Archery Tower], [Archery Tower] evolved into [Storm Tower].
Territory Prompt: Building [Archery Tower], [Archery Tower] evolved into [Blade Tower].
...
Territory Prompt: Building [Farmland], [Farmland] evolved into [Spirit Field].
Territory Prompt: Building [Well], [Well] evolved into [Spirit Spring].
...
...
Territory Prompt: Building [Grassland], [Grassland] evolved into [Verdant Spiritual Grassland].
"Gasp... [Verdant Spiritual Grassland], what... L(・o・)!"
He curiously checked the quality of the [Verdant Spiritual Grassland] and was surprised to find it was an R-grade building.
The attributes of this building were quite good, providing significant buffs to raising various animals and mounts. Crucially, this grassland was filled with spiritual energy, which was definitely good news.
Next, it needed upgrading. He leveled the [Verdant Spiritual Grassland] to level 20. After that, it would require wood-attribute crystal cores. His remaining crystal cores were insufficient for further upgrades, so he would have to wait until his trade with the Elf Queen was completed today to proceed.
A grassland could be vast in area, but the size of this building had remained unchanged. He curiously walked into the grassland and discovered that this building was also a spatial building. From the outside, it didn't seem large, but once inside, he found that it was no smaller than the territory itself.
Moreover, the entire grassland was filled with immense spiritual energy, and the grass was exceptionally fertile. It would undoubtedly be excellent for raising mounts.
"With such a large grassland, the next step is to collect pet eggs or mounts with powerful bloodlines."
This vast grassland could accommodate a very large number of mounts. He currently had ten thousand [Great Han Cavalry] waiting to be equipped with mounts.
He had constructed many buildings, and many of them could upgrade their quality. He proceeded to upgrade all the buildings that could improve their quality.
First, the [Blade Tower]. He had obtained many of them this time. He consumed six S-grade [Blade Towers] to evolve three SS-grade [Blade Towers], and then consumed three SS-grade [Blade Towers] to evolve one SSS-grade [Blade Tower].
He also upgraded the quality of the [Poison Gas Tower] to SSS-grade.
The quality of the [Earthquake Tower] was also improved to R-grade.
The quality of the [Frost Tower] was also improved to R-grade.
The quality of the [Meteor Tower] was improved to RR-grade.
The quality of the [Storm Tower] was improved to R-grade.
Two new types of defense towers were also added.
One was the SSS-grade [Blast Tower], and the other was the SS-grade [Curse Seal Tower].
The Blast Tower was a fire elemental tower, a defense tower with an area-of-effect.
The [Flame Tower] was a single-target attack defense tower.
As for the [Curse Seal Tower], it was also an area-of-effect defense tower and a crowd-control type. Although it didn't have very strong destructive power, it was very effective at restraining monsters.
Naturally, he wanted to upgrade all these defense towers to their maximum quality. However, each defense tower evolved randomly, and no one knew what quality or type of building they would evolve into.
He needed to purchase more defense towers today, aiming to upgrade the quality of all these defense towers to the highest tier.
There were also many other buildings added within the territory, especially [Spirit Fields], of which many had been constructed. He upgraded the quality of these [Spirit Fields] and eventually obtained two RRR-grade [Spirit Fields].
He also acquired quite a few [Spirit Springs]. After evolving these [Spirit Springs], he obtained two RRR-grade [Spirit Spring] buildings, along with several [Spirit Spring] buildings ranging from SSS-grade to RR-grade.
With this, the water supply issues within the territory were completely resolved.
The quality of the territory's [Treasure Room] was also upgraded to RRR-grade.
The [Divine Weapon Workshop]'s quality was the same, upgraded to RRR-grade.
Most of the buildings purchased yesterday were ordinary buildings, so the evolved buildings, except for a few exceptions, were all buildings he had obtained before.
Many buildings only required one unit, so he upgraded all the buildings that could have their quality improved.
The remaining surplus units were all collected and would be dealt with when needed in the future.
Because many buildings required a large amount of space after upgrading, unnecessary buildings naturally should not occupy space.
After finishing these tasks, most of the buildings within the territory had a quality of R-grade or above.
Today, he would purchase another batch of buildings, intending to upgrade all buildings to their top quality.
He once again arrived at the [Myriad Realms Virtual Mall].
